of Letters Prepared for the Jan. 19, 2008 Nevada Democratic CaucusesNevada State Democratic Party [NEXT]

January 19th, 2008

Dear Nevada Democrat,

Welcome to a historic day in Nevada! All across the Silver State, Nevadans
are gathering for these exciting caucuses. By caucusing today, you are
taking the first step toward electing a Democrat to the White House! We
can all be proud that Nevada was chosen as an early caucus state because
of the ethnic, geographic, and socio-economic diversity that makes us strong,
and we are honored to be the first test of presidential candidates in the
West.

As we gather on this particular weekend, we must also remember and honor
one of our greatest American leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In the
truest spirit of Dr. King's legacy, we are all here to make a difference,
and there are many ways that you can contribute to the Nevada State Democratic
Party to ensure a positive change.

First of all, remember that we are building a movement here-a strong
and sustainable statewide organization that will deliver Nevada to our
presidential nominee in the fall, pick up congressional seats, take control
of the state Senate, build a stronger majority in the state Assembly, and
be well-organized and positioned for races in 2010 and beyond. You have
all come here for various reasons today, but your continued involvement
in the Democratic Party at the precinct-level will help turn and keep Nevada
Blue!

Today, please ensure that we have your correct contact information-including
e-mail-so that we can keep you up to date about the many organizing events
and volunteer opportunities that will keep us all engaged between now and
Election Day on November 4th. I cannot urge you strongly enough to keep
working in your precincts and talking to your neighbors to build the capacity
we will need to turn out in force on Election Day. You should also take
a moment to fill out the NSDP activist survey, which will help the party
better serve your. needs by identifying your special talents, skills, and
prioritles.

It's clear that we have a busy and exciting time ahead of us. For the
first time in 15 years, Democrats have a voter registration edge in Nevada,
and we need your support to ensure this state votes for our Democratic
nominee in 2008! Please make a financial contribution to the Nevada Democratic
Party. A donation of $5, $10, $20, or whatever you can contribute helps
put us closer to electing a Democrat to the White House.

Thank you for attending your precinct caucus today, and for making history
in Nevada. Together, we will turn Nevada Blue!
